I've been seeing stacked salads just about everywhere lately. They're a great way to serve single-portioned salads in a neat and different way. My version here is plum tomato, yellow crookneck squash and cucumber topped with a single black olive and drizzled with a garlic Balsamic vinaigrette. It was really yummy.
You can use almost any round veggie for this, and grilling them first adds a whole new dimension.
Pretty, isn't it?
By the way, that's a mint leaf on top. I adore mint and just posted a fabulous recipe for Mint Pesto over at Cookies to Caviar. Not a savory type, a dessert version that will knock your socks off!
MMM. Reminds me of a salad I had at Morton's Steak House in Atlanta, GA: Beefsteak Tomatoes, bermuda onion, and Mozzarella- with a Balsamic drizzel and chopped basil. It, too, was to die for. Can't wait to try your variation here. LOOKS FAB, too!
yum!! I'll be trying this!

Hi Anne - that looks really really good. I have to ask though, because I am curious.... did your kids eat that? If so, then you are my hero :-)

That is just beautiful. You know it will be delicious but almost hate to ruin it by eating.
ReplyDeleteOh my God, this is perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI can cook but I am not sure if I could arrange food like that!
Beautiful! My patience doesn't allow me to do things like this often, but this is really inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI saw a recipe for something like this just yesterday and bookmarked it to try. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed that you have seven children AND find time to do all of this great stuff. I need some tips from you!
You're all fabulous for posting such nice things! Really, this was one of the easiest things I've ever made.
ReplyDeleteI just sliced up the veggies and restacked them...like a puzzle.
Hey, round cheese is a nice addition, too--like mozzarella.
Looks yummy!
